Five steps to fill a public records request
Transparency of government operations and decisions to the public is of the utmost importance. Sharing meeting minutes and videos are one of the ways that public sector employees meet compliance and open records regulations. A user from our Starter community, Brad Houston – Records Officer for the City of Milwaukee - walked us through his set up in Starter for an efficient way to respond to public records requests- using a Common Council meeting video as his example. Using Starter to preserve and share the video, Brad is able to:
- Offer a timely response to records requests
- Transfer files from dark storage
- Transform large complex legacy file formats with ease
- Digitally preserve permanent government records
- Provide access to citizens via an online public portal
Brad covers the process in just a few minutes so please watch his walkthrough here:
